Message: [QUOTE="ScooperNova, post: 6336903, member: 91549"] True for the west. That wasn’t the issue however. The issue is getting people on board for the suffering of Russian citizens. Russia propaganda says Russian citizens support the war effort and we shouldn’t buy that to make ourselves feel better about the suffering of common people. There will be suffering regardless from innocent citizens of any countries directly involved and even citizens of other countries to a much lesser degree. The entire point of pushing this propaganda is basically war mongering and trying to muster up public support for current sanctions and possibly more extreme measures in the future. I think we should all hope for de-escalation from all sides and information like this do not support that in any way. The only effect this has on the citizens of western nations is the numbing of their empathy for Russian citizens. To be clear, support could be great within the RF, but we just don’t know that and there’s no way we should be accepting Russian propaganda even if it comes from our favorite information streams. If we’ve learned anything we know that there are no sources that can be trusted 100% and when they’re using Russian pollsters to get a point across we should be VERY weary. Edit: Without a doubt there are some Russian citizens who support their countries war efforts. We really don’t know the level of support. This would be true everywhere. The majority of Americans supported the invasion of Iraq. Joe Biden supported it. I was personally glad to see Hussein go down but it’s accepted the US invaded under false pretenses. In the end, let’s just hope things calm down and none of this will matter anyway :). I am afraid things will get worse but I also have hope. I sincerely hope we will quickly come to a time when this conflict ends and all the people of the world can be free of any negative consequences. Let’s just try to love one another and not look for reasons to hate people who have no control of the situation. [/QUOTE]
